I would think that Ouri's cat has a bit more significance than that. Like Manji Midou said, the cat has reacted to people and objects within the show and Makina has interacted with it directly, while others have been unable to see it.
Additionally going with Shonen mentality, there must be some kind of additional significance to balance Ouri's general ineptness (in addition to his emotionless early childhood and lack of a fear of death).
I wonder how the manga has touched on the subject.
